archicad replacement icons (mac)

dear all,

i am sure we are not the only one who struggle following which AC version you are currently working in, particularly since the default AC logo has remained unchanged for quite some time...

... and so we decided to create our own and make it available for everyone - actually since we are trained architects like most of you, we made a few options...

1. column: transparent white outline
2. column: white
3. column: transparent

please download the respective versions from the following posts.

enjoy,

ds.

For those who have difficulty distinguishing the original launch icons, we’ve introduced new alternative icons that prominently display the version number for easier identification. You can find all the details about the icon changes in this Knowledge Base article:

Please read it carefully, as the previous solution some of you used is incorrect and may cause Archicad to mistakenly be flagged as a pirated version. To avoid issues, kindly follow the guide in the article.

Thank you!

And for AC21 a slight deviation from so far almost religious following of the Graphisoft branding - looks like we are growing up after all...

What a change for 2020... Graphisoft has rebranded!

So without any further ado here are our alternative / replacement icons for ARCHICAD 24.

To ease the transition to the new identity for die hard / nostalgic ARCHICAD users, we have also included a LEGACY version...

It took us more than a year to realise that we did not post the replacement logo for Archicad 25, so here a double post for both AC25 & AC26... enjoy!

If only Graphisoft would do this. 🙄

25 & 26 are so similar it is ridiculous.

At least 24 & 25 had a different shape.

Just for completeness sake, it seems GS might finally consider a proper solution and save us the trouble each year...

Please be very wary doing this. We replaced the icon on one of our macs and it triggered Archicad in to thinking it had been pirated which caused us a bit of an issue with Graphisoft having to explain ourselves.

Very sorry about this - we had inadvertently uploaded only the PNG files instead of the actual ICNS

files, thus the replacement would not have worked.

 

Please note we have now uploaded the correct ICNS files (same link) please try again.

 

PS > We could not help to also redesign them... 😃
